Cook for life

-Written by Twincitiesherbs.

Cooking is our source for food, 

passion and creativity,

It is giving rhythm to our lives

purpose and meaning.

Cooking is good for us.

It keeps us active and relaxed,

keeping us moving ahead.

Recipes are nice 

I use recipes to guide but I rely on my senses to surprise.

For me cooking happens when I am present

and feel what I am creating in the kitchen

how colors are changing, textures are transforming,

aromas created.

Listen to the pot!

It is a great teacher!

It teaches how to cook and live in the present

feeling what is happening in the kitchen.

Cook for life!

Making food everyday

Chopping onions, stirring a pot, 

Listening to the sizzling sounds.

It heightens our senses

to recognize patterns

so we can create something amazing!

Make mistakes! 

I make mistakes all the time. 

Every mistake made me who I am today.

Don’t give up!

Don’t worry about doing something wrong 

you might create something nice! 

Pick a favorite dish 

that you can make everyday!

Practice makes perfect

make it so it pleases your senses.

The fire of the stove is radiating warmth

creating bonds.  

Bringing food and people to the table

Nourishing our body, mind and spirit 

to make us whole.

Cook for life!
